It has been a long hiatus and it's nice to be back!
Its Dusserah today and the fasting period for Navaratri has come to an end.
As kids we had to declare we were fasting so as to partake of all the 'fasting-special' goodies that would be made for all the fasting adults. So we would look forward to the fast.
My great grandmother used to fast every week, on Thursdays. As soon as it was Friday she would start planning what to eat on her next 'fast' Thursday which was quite entertaining...
I, for one, associate all fasts with food!
Let me bring you these 'grandma' special recipes one after the other in the next few days.
First and foremost dairy products were alright for fasting. And cool buttermilk with a dash of salt, sugar, ground cumin powder and coriander leaves was in plentiful. So lets start with that as an appetizer today and move on to the other recipes later.
